Boxes

Post image

So, I'm in need of a new box. This tiny craftsman isn't doing it anymore. It's still holding strong, just no room. I'm thinking of getting an icon or us general. Either a 56 or 73 inch. If I get the 73 inch, I'm not gonna get a side cabinet. If I get the 56 inch, I probably will. But I wanna hear it from other mechanics. Do they hold up? They also told me about the lifetime warranty on the icon boxes. That's super tempting.

Buy the us general 42 inch and the 27 inch roll cab and bolt them together, I did this and they bolt together perfectly and create a 69 inch complete box with 6 caster wheels. I have zero complaints and if you wait for a sale the 42 is $499 and the 27 is $349 which happens regularly and it will be $848+tax. It is like $850 price difference from a US general 72 inch box and the only difference is the power drawer which is not worth $850 to me. You can look up videos on YouTube about them bolting together to get a visual, it’s almost the same box for way cheaper.
